Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 136-138 Holloway Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood, owned by Lam Kit & Yuk Ying So, has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1950. Significant structural work was performed in 2003 when repairs were made to address termite damage in the front stucco, though this permit eventually expired, with subsequent attempts at renewal in 2006. A notable interior improvement was completed in 1995, adding a playroom, half bathroom, and laundry facilities on the ground floor. More recently, the property has embraced renewable energy, installing a solar power system in January 2012 consisting of six roof-mounted PV modules with a total power rating of 1.41 kW.

The building's recent history shows minimal internal issues requiring attention, but there has been considerable activity related to external matters, particularly during 2020-2021, when multiple reports of double parking incidents were logged, mostly involving Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles, along with one report of a Tesla blocking the driveway. These incidents were documented through parking enforcement channels and contributed to a pattern of street parking concerns in the area. Additional external matters included a 311 call regarding toters being left out continuously in March 2022 and a general cleaning issue involving loose garbage in July 2020. The earliest recorded building permit from 1995 and the termite repair work from 2003 indicate ongoing property maintenance efforts, while the installation of solar panels represents a significant modernization of the building's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 136-138 Holloway Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
